The mortgage is for less than half the deductive value of the tower, which is set at approximately $634 million, based on Brookfield’s purchase last year of a 49 percent interest in the building. Bank of America, a tenant at 4 World Financial Center, sold that stake to Brookfield.

Brookfield has undertaken a $250 million renovation of the World Financial Center buildings’ public and retail spaces, which may be funded by the refinancing, the Observer said. [NYO] — Guelda Voien
